Jimmy Phan Obituary
Born in Vietnam, Jimmy immigrated to San Francisco in 1986, where he began his career as a nail technician. In 1996, he met the love of his life, Dung Le, and the two were married in 1999. Together, they built and ran a successful nail salon for over two decades, working side by side for 22 years.
Jimmy had a deep appreciation for the simple joys in life. He loved fishing, gardening, tending to his yard, and traveling whenever he could. A passionate sports fan, he followed the Vietnam national soccer team with pride and rooted enthusiastically for his favorite NFL teams-the San Francisco 49ers and the Washington Commanders.
Above all, Jimmy was a devoted husband and father who worked tirelessly to provide a good life for his family. He was known for his easygoing nature, generous spirit, and ever-present willingness to lend a hand. Whether it was through a small act of kindness or sharing a laugh, Jimmy had a way of making those around him feel cared for and uplifted.
Survivors include his wife, Dung Thi Ngoc Le; son Jason Phan Chinh Le; mother Pho Mai; sister Tiem Phan; brother Cao Phan; and several nieces and nephews.
The family will receive friends from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Monday, April 21, 2025, at Covenant Funeral Service, Fredericksburg. A Buddhist Prayer Service will be held at 12:30 p.m. at the funeral home chapel.
10830 Patriot Hwy, Fredericksburg, VA 22408
